The best events and artists you must see at Sonar Festival 2018

Sonar festival’s founding values have been defined since its inception: the link between creativity and technology, its commitment to being a global event and a meeting point for creative people from different disciplines and communities. This year, Sonar 2018 celebrates 25 years with Gorillaz LIVE, LCD Soundsystem LIVE,Bonobo LIVE and a DJ Set, Richie Hawtin CLOSE LIVE, Laurent Garnier LIVE and many other emerging and established artists.
